Extraordinary Weather Manifestations.

Extraordinary Weather Manifestations.
From the Emmit,burg Chronicle.
A friend of ours, having discovered in
an old family memorandum book the fol-
lowing curious records, sends them to Us
for insertion, thinking our readers will
be relieved to know in this day of evil
representations that as strange things
happened years ago as are happening
around us now, yet the earth still re-
wolves and the natural order of things
has never been seriously interfered with.
lisp. May 4-Snow fell very heavy
all that day and hard frost at night,
but did but little damage.
"1S14. July 30-Great circle around
the sun. The lower edge had the APP
pearance of rainbow. 1t appeared in
the forepart of the day; disappeared about
twelve O'Clock.
"1Sl6-A cold spring, which lasted I'M
til the 18th of June. Frost Oh the Sth,
9th and 10th. Harvest began the 10th of
July, with general run of the people.
'1S25-The dryest year that could be
remembered by the oldest persons. No
rain to soak the ground for twelve
month. The wheat that was seeded i'll
september Did not come up until March,
1926, when the weather set in warm and
wet, and continued till the 18th of March,
when wheat made as great an appearance
as in other years.
"lS26-The early part of the spring
warm, latter part cold. A great many
frosts, but little damage done, A sharp
frost on ED of June was the coolest day
ever experienced for that season.

For The CECIL WING.
INCONSISTENCY.

Our hero works with all his might,
As if to- day would be his last;
And late into the drearv night
He stables DER his problems vast.
But when the flame within his breast,
Ofyoung enthusiasm dies,
He turns with deep despair oppressed,
And long untouched his labor lies.
And now his spirit melts with love,
A beauteous maid he bows Before,
And swears by all the stars above
That he will love her evermore.
But sudden passion soon subsidies,
And small neglects soon lead to more
And he who worshiped now de:id.s,
The charm is spoiled, the dream is DER
And now he kneels before the shrine
OF pure religion, lowly, meek,
And rising, fired with love divine
To warn the proud and help the weak
He marches forth, but soon his feet
In paths forbidden learn to stray,
His mission ended in defeat
He sinks forgotten by the way.
All men by frail Inconsistency
Are weakened more or less through life
Select your work with care, and be
Alert and constant in the strife
Aud men will point to your success,
And those W no doubt will learn to love
The faithful here the Lord will bless
With foretastes of the joys above.

What True Merit Will Do

The unprecedented sale of BOSchee'S Ger

ished the world. 1t is without doubt the
safest and best remedy ever discovered for
the speedy and etfectual cure of Coughs,
Colds and the severest Lung troubles. It.
acts on an entirely different principle from
the usual prescriptions given by the Ply
siciaus, as it does not dry up n Cough and
leave the disease still IN the system, but on
the contrary removes the cause of the trou-
BILE, heals the parts affected and leaves them
in a purely healthy condition. y bottle

make their appearance, will save do tors

Greedy.
l long have been puzzled to guess,
And so have frequently said,
What the reason could really be
That | never have happened to wed;
But now it is perfectly clear
l am under a natural ban;
The girls are already assigned
And I'm supertiuous man.
Those clever statistical chaps
Declare the numerical run
OF women and men in the world
Is Twenty to Twenty. and-One;
And hence in the pairing, you see,
Since wooing and wedding began,
For every counubial score
They've got "A supertiuous man.
By twenties and twenties they go,
And giddily rush to their fate,
For none of the number, Of course,
Can fail of the conjugal mate;
But while they are yielding in scores
To natures intlexible plan,
There's never a woman for me
For I'm a supertiuous man.
To solitude overwhelmed,
1t isn't that am at fault
In morals or manners or mind;
Then what is the reason, you ask,
I'm still with the bachelor clan?
| merely was mum bered amisS-
And I'm supsrtuous man!
It isn't that am in want
OF personal beauty or grace,
For many man with a wife
Is uglier far in the face.
Indeed among elegant men
| fancy myself i'll the van.
But what is the value of that,
When I'm supertiuous man
Although am fond of the girls,
For aught | could ever discern
The tender emotion | feel
Is one that they never return;
'Tis idle to quarrel with fate,
For, struggle as hard as | can,
They're mated already you know,
And I'm the supertuous man!
No wonder grumble at times.
With women so pretty and plenty,
To know that | never was born
To figure as one of the twenty,
But yet, when the average lot
With critical vision | scan,
l think it may be for the best

He was Baltimore man on a 3. & P.

the conductor tald him he must change
cars at Bowie. At the first station this
side of Bowie, the conductor discovered
him in the smoking car.
Why" he said, II thought told you
if you wanted to go to Marlboro you
would have to change cars at Bowie?'
"Well, did"
''No, you didn't"
Eyes, did; left that other car and

A Great Battle

Is continually going on in the human sys-

gain victory over the constitution, to ruin
health, to drag victims to the grave. A
good reliable medicine like Hoods Sarsapa-

field, and restore peace and bodily health
for many years. Try this peculiar medi-

ored employees who were the nearest to
the scene were bruised snd lacersted, one
very severely, and it is fortunate that the
latter escaped with his life. This plsttOD,
above mentioned, IS part of the compress

The press is one Of the most complete

Last season it handled about 40, 900 bsles

$500 bales of cotton were on hand when
the accident occurred to-day. Mr. Lscy

how early will be taken in the
